Frequently Asked Questions

What is 12/4 PVC cable used for?
12/4 PVC cable is commonly used for low-voltage security systems, access control, speaker wiring, CCTV power connections, and general control wiring in commercial and residential buildings. The CL3R riser rating allows installation in vertical shafts and risers between floors.

Is 12/4 PVC cable riser rated?
Yes. This cable carries a CL3R (Class 3 Riser) rating, which means it meets NEC fire-resistance requirements for vertical runs through risers and shafts. It is not plenum rated — for plenum spaces, a CL3P-rated cable is required.

What is the temperature rating of 12/4 PVC cable?
This cable is rated for 75°C continuous operating temperature, which is standard for PVC-insulated low-voltage cables used in building wiring applications.

Can I buy 12/4 PVC cable in custom lengths?
Yes! Select your desired length from the available options. If you need a length that isn’t listed, contact us and we’ll get you a custom quote.

What do the conductor colors mean in 12/4 cable?
The four conductors are color-coded black, red, white, and green. In typical installations, green is used for ground, white for neutral or common, and black and red for signal or power circuits. Always follow local electrical codes for conductor usage.
